The shocking murder of Victor at the hands of Gus in the Season 4 premiere kept the talk forum buzzing this week, with commenters trying to reason out why Gus might have done it and what it could mean for other characters.

• “The murder performed by Gus was not out of character but was shocking — I did not see that coming.” — Alex Chaplin

• “I love how each of them reacted: Walt clutching his chest in horror and Jesse just staring the whole thing down, unfazed. The shot back at Gus… showed a little surprise and respect that Jesse wasn’t scared.” — David_99

• “Victor was seen at the crime scene by several people… [He] was a liability to Gus and had to be eliminated.” — Keith Sumner

• “Gus was brutal. Mike has no reason to believe that he would be treated any better.” — ElizabethMC
